We live in a failure of the five branch of our Government!

Sat, 19 Jan 2013 05:03:06 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=239773#comment-6653382I can’t wait for April. This is something the Republicans should have done 2 years ago, but better late than never, although, if they had done this 2 years ago, I’d bet the election results would have been different.

I’ll be anxious to see if the Republicans really have the guts to do what they say they’re going to do, no budget, no debt ceiling increase. Also, if they were smart (which is always a question) they would allow the sequestration to take place. The Democrats had big smiles on their faces when they first proposed this because Republicans were going to have to cut defense. Well, that’s fine, I’m sure the Pentagon can creatively cut some fat from their budget in return for the Democrats cutting some fat from entitlements.

Pelosi: “We need a clean debt ceiling increase and a bipartisan and balanced budget that protects Medicare and Social Security, invests in the future, and responsibly reduces the deficit.

“Invests in the future” means dumping more (non-existent) money into “green energy” failures.

Pelosi: “This proposal does not relieve the uncertainty faced by small businesses, the markets and the middle class. This is a gimmick unworthy of the challenges we face and the national debate we should be having. The message from the American people is clear: no games, no default.”

Aside from the obvious vacuousness of Pelosi’s Lackoff-generated, poll-tested boilerplate phrasing, she needs to be asked why it doesn’t relieve those factors that she blithely lists without understanding fundamental budgeting and economics.

Who is letting Pelosi get away with this stupidity? It is so easily refuted. To challenge her to answer her own empty rhetoric would leave her blinking and spluttering.

They will not, will not, be held accountable for proposing actual solutions to America’s fiscal crisis. Even with the full faith and credit of the country at stake.

There is something grievously wrong with our system of government that allows this to happen without any serious consequences to the parties involved.
And seriously-it’s unconstitutional to deny pay to lawmakers who won’t do their jobs-is that really true?
